Stop Motion for Food & Beverage Brands

MisaHungry Media makes stop motion and GIFs for CPG food and beverage brands. You ship product to our studio near Seattle. We storyboard every move, shoot frame by frame, and deliver loops built for social, ads, email, and product pages. Jade Leaf Matcha ran an 18-month stop motion series with us.

Turnaround

Storyboard before filming, first cut within 1 week, final delivery 1-2 weeks after feedback

Licensing

5-year commercial license included

Deliverables

Stop motion clips, GIFs, and tabletop video cutdowns

Product Stop Motion

Your product moves on its own, one frame at a time. Packaging opens, ingredients fall into place, and the product turns to camera. Every clip is built to loop for Reels, TikTok, and ads.

Recipe and How-To Builds

A recipe or ritual that builds itself frame by frame, like a matcha latte whisking together on its own. It shows what’s inside and how to use it in a few seconds.

Stop Motion FAQs

How long does a stop motion project take?

Every project starts with a storyboard. The first cut arrives within 1 week of filming, and final delivery is 1 to 2 weeks after your feedback.

What’s the difference between a GIF and stop motion?

GIFs are short 2 to 4 frame loops for simple, repeating movement. Anything longer becomes stop motion, which takes more frames and editing to build a full clip.

Do I need to be at the shoot?

No. You ship product to our studio and follow along in a live album as takes come in. Weigh in by text, email, or video call.

What usage rights are included?

Every project includes a 5-year commercial license for web, social, e-commerce, email, and digital advertising. Broadcast or unlimited usage can be quoted as a buyout.

GIFs for Email and Product Pages

GIFs are short loops of 2 to 4 frames. They play in places video can’t, like email and some product pages. We can pull them from your stop motion shoot or make them on their own.

Storyboarded Before the First Frame

Stop motion can’t be fixed in editing, so we plan every move before we shoot. You approve the storyboard, then watch test loops come in and weigh in by text, email, or video call.

How a Stop Motion Project Works

  • Ship It

    Send your product and any props you want in frame. Extra units help, since stop motion handles product a lot.

  • Storyboard

    We map every move, the loop length, and the final sizes together before filming starts.

  • Live View

    Watch test loops come in on your live album. Weigh in by text, email, or video call.

  • Delivery

    Get final clips and GIFs sized for Reels, TikTok, ads, and email. Products are returned or donated, your choice.
